Truck Drivers Matter Too
When it comes to trucking accidents, most times people assume the driver behind that large 18-wheeler or tractor-trailer was in the wrong and caused the accident. That’s not always the case and here at Hendy | Johnson | Vaughn | Emery, we understand that truck drivers need representation too.
Injuries
In any vehicle accident, the possibility for injuries can happen to either side, no matter who was at fault. When a truck driver sustains injuries, they lose their ability to work, earn their paycheck and support those who count on them. Sometimes injuries can even affect their ability to continue driving in the future. Our team is also available to help truck driver’s families in the event of a wrongful death of a truck driver.
